The nucleus is bound by the very strong nuclear force, which acts against the repulsive electrostatic force of the protons. Measurements have shown that the mass of the various atoms is almost 1% smaller than the mass of the individual protons and neutrons combined. Following Einstein's...

These are stories found wherever uranium mining takes place. The ruined lives, the contamination, the cover-ups, and the deception. And that’s before we even consider what happens to the waste produced by generating nuclear energy.

By Rep. Joe Pitts I believe we should also create a new National Nuclear Energy Council since today’s national nuclear policy on the federal level is jumbled and disjointed. The Department of Energy and the Department of State, for example, have different priorities when it comes to nuclear energy polic...

First and foremost, it needs to be remembered that nuclear energy is a huge barrier to fighting climate change. It diverts vital time, money, energy and resources away from much cheaper, ready sooner, safer, cleaner and efficient renewable energy sources and energy efficiency program...

By Nick Loris Truth be told, not including nuclear energy in Waxman-Markey could be a blessing in disguise. The fact is that based on the legislation’s other energy provisions, its handling of nuclear energy would probably have relied on subsidies, handouts, and preferences. The problem with this ap...

As explained above, secondary uranium resources provide the fuel for about 1/3 of the world’s nuclear fission power plants. These secondary uranium resources are classified as follows: The military uranium stockpiles Secondary uranium supply, the near future

By Congressman Jason Altmire To facilitate the safe and efficient production of nuclear energy, we must also continue to examine how best to store nuclear waste over the long term. Earlier this year, the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) announced that it is creating a blue-ribbon commission to study nuclear waste manag...

The necessary chain reaction to liberate nuclear fission energy is known to be possible if, on average, more than one neutron is emitted for every fission reaction. This is essentially possible only with two uranium isotopes, U235 and U233, and with the plutonium isotope Pu239, where, o...

By Nick Loris No, we’re not reverting back to Cold War. We’re talking commercial nuclear energy. And we’re talking commercial competition—what will ultimately be the life-blood of the nuclear renaissance. Up until now, big light-water reactors have largely dominated the nuclear industry. 104 of the...

Now, uranium has always been one of the best ways to play nuclear energy. Many of you may even recall when uranium prices had a huge run between 2002 and 2007. Uranium rose as high as $136 per pound in 2007 (from a low of $8 per pound in 2002). That means the price of uranium jumped about 1600% betwee...
